Overlake Medical Center and clinics will offer free health screenings, cardiac and diabetes risk assessments and speak directly with health care providers during Overlake’s annual Eastside Vitality Health Screenings and Fair. Health screenings will include cholesterol, blood pressure and more.

Eastside Vitality Health Screenings and Fair will be held from 8-11 a.m. at the following locations:

• Sept. 10 at Overlake Medical Clinics Kirkland

• Sept. 17 at Overlake Medical Clinics Issaquah

“We believe it is important to offer complimentary screenings to help community members learn vital health information,” said J. Michael Marsh, Overlake’s president and CEO. “We are committed to providing a system of care that enhances the health and wellbeing of our community, and Eastside Vitality is one of our most popular events that helps us fulfill this commitment.”

In addition, Eastside Vitality Screenings will serve as an opportunity for the community to become familiar with Overlake Medical Clinics’ primary care providers, cardiologists and other health care specialists. Walk-ins are welcome, but screenings are limited. Pre-registration is recommended — visit overlakehospital.org/eastsidevitality for details and to pre-register.
